In the 1990s the National Information Display Laboratory, Princeton, NJ, developed Softrak, a program that allowed users to quickly measure aspects of their CRT display performance and store the results for comparisons over time. The measurement tasks included resolution at various contrasts, and coarse measurement of contrast detection through the tonescale.
